That doesn't solve the problem, the checkbox grey background is a system colour which is different on different OS's or if the user has changed from the defaults so the bitmap colour can't be determined. I can see I am not going to convince you or Rob! Neil Neil Sleightholm X2 Systems

Hi, If you cannot register the file by hand then either the dll is corrupt or not a com dll. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873 Dllname is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type. Dllname is not an executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx).
